Type:	Security Advisory
Severity:	Low
Issued on:	2004-09-30
Last updated on:	2004-09-30
Affected Products:	Red Hat Desktop (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 2.1) Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (v. 3)
OVAL:	N/A
CVEs (cve.mitre.org):	CVE-2004-0755

Details

An updated ruby package that fixes insecure file permissions for CGI session
files is now available.

Ruby is an interpreted scripting language for object-oriented programming.

Andres Salomon reported an insecure file permissions flaw in the CGI
session management of Ruby. FileStore created world readable files that
could allow a malicious local user the ability to read CGI session data.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has
assigned the name CAN-2004-0755 to this issue.

Users are advised to upgrade to this erratum package, which contains a
backported patch to CGI::Session FileStore.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat
